The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 274

Joseph Harris had always been a crafty, calculating man. He had been planning this for so long, and there was no way he would allow things to fail in the final stages.

Charles smirked. “So, Joseph must be thinking about how he can get Xavier and Winter to get married as soon as possible. He won’t have anything to worry about once they’re married.” Charles patted Noelle’s hand as he said, “Xavier’s smart, but he’s not very charismatic, and would never dare go against Joseph. So, he’ll inevitably go down that path.”

“You thought of everything.” Noelle sighed, thinking to herself how exhausting all this thinking must be.

Charles noticed the change in Noelle’s mood and took her hand in his as he lowered his head so their foreheads were touching. “We can’t control what others do, but we can at least live our lives the way we want to. Don’t you think so?”

Noelle chuckled as she nodded. “Yes, I know that. Don’t worry. I’ve set clear boundaries with them, and I know what I should do moving forward. I won’t let them bully me.”

Noelle also knew that they saw her as an easy target because she used to be too soft and never showed her desire for anything. However, they must have forgotten that the only reason she never fought back was because she could not care less. Since they were no longer showing any consideration for her and treating her however they liked, she would not foolishly allow them to continue bullying her.

“It’s getting late. Let’s go to bed!” Charles kissed the corner of Noelle’s lips and held her in his arms as they lay in bed. “Good night!”

“Good night!” Noelle grabbed Charles‘ hand and buried her face in the space between his neck and shoulders.

Somehow, Winter managed to learn about what Xavier had done. She smashed all the vases at home in a fury before declaring she was going to seek revenge on Noelle. Thankfully, Jade stopped her in time.” Gosh, child, can’t you hold yourself together?!”
